Earth Day is almost here... are you looking for an easy-to-make craft your
students and children can make? Stevie Rae from 🌱🌍 Funtimes Daily Fun and Learning 🌍🌱 and her family recently made some Earth Day-themed seed bombs
using items that can be purchased inexpensively at a dollar store. In
this guest post, Stevie Rae describes how they made their seed bombs and

How to Make Earth Day Seed Bombs
These fun and biodegradable seed bombs are perfect for those kiddos who are

What You Need:
Blue, green, and white construction paper cut into squares Bowls to soak the paper in Water Parchment paper Blender Flower seeds
What We Did:
First, I cut the paper into squares and separated the colors into
the bowls. (If you have scraps of construction paper from other projects
laying around, feel free to recycle those instead!)
Next, we filled the bowls with water. Don't use too much water, it
will make the paper too mushy. Use your judgment.
After letting it soak for 20 minutes, I added the first bowl of
paper to the blender and shredded it into a pulp. Then I returned the paper
to the bowl.
Next, we rinsed the blender and repeated these steps with the rest
of the colors. Once we had our pulps, we added some of our favorite flower seeds to
each bowl.
Next, we rolled the green pulp into a ball, squeezing the excess
water out. We added bits of blue and white to make the earthy
coloring.
Next, we let them dry for a couple days!
🌱🌍 I can't wait until we throw them on Earth Day! 🌍🌱
